	Globus cruciger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
		The globus cruciger (Latin, "cross-bearing orb") is an orb (globus) topped with a cross (crux), a Christian symbol of authority used throughout the Middle Ages on coins, iconography and royal regalia.
		With the growth of Christianity in the 5th century, the orb was topped with a cross (hence globus cruciger), symbolising the Christian God's dominion over the world.
		Even in the modern era in England, the Sovereign's Orb symbolises both the state and Church of England under the protection and domain of the royal crown.

	Edmund Burke: Reflections on the Revolution in France
		The grand policy of all their regulations was to render it almost impracticable for any future sovereign to compel the states of the kingdom to have again recourse to those violent remedies.
		Sovereigns will consider those who advise them to place an unlimited confidence in their people as subverters of their thrones, as traitors who aim at their destruction by leading their easy good-nature, under specious pretenses, to admit combinations of bold and faithless men into a participation of their power.
		Each will keep its own portion of the spoil of the church to itself, and it will not suffer either that spoil, or the more just fruits of their industry, or the natural produce of their soil to be sent to swell the insolence or pamper the luxury of the mechanics of Paris.

	Portraits of sovereigns and heads of state - Citizens and Kings - Exhibitions - Royal Academy of Arts
		Photo: © Musée Roger-Quilliot, Clermont-FerrandThe most important portrait of the monarch was made at the time of his or her coronation, since this was the moment when the human body took on the awesome responsibilities of royal authority.
		This dual representation of person and power meant that the symbols of royal majesty, the crown, sceptre, orb and sword of state, became as important as the actual likeness of the monarchs themselves, and both needed an appropriate setting.
		The prototype had been established in the seventeenth century, and was always a full-length portrait, set in a spacious interior with classical column and billowing curtain, and with gilt furniture on which important objects could be placed.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Coronation
		The diadem, though the military torque after the analogy of Julian's election was often retained as well, was and continued to be the symbol of supreme power, and along with it, from the time of Constantine onward, went the ceremony of "adoration" of the monarch by prostration.
		For example in Aragon the king was expected to pass the preceding night in the church with a purpose which was evidently analogous to that of the knight's vigil spent in the watching of his arms.
		At present, however, the investiture of sovereigns with the insignia of their office by a religious ceremony is by no means universal, and it is curious that in Spain, a most Catholic country in full diplomatic relations with the Holy See, no such religious ceremony is now in use.
